A bow view of the Plymouth-registered steam trawler Reginald (1899) showing the impact damage from grounding on the Ledge at Porth Hellick.
A detailed close-up view of the stem and keel foot from the Plymouth-registered steam trawler Reginald (1899) aground and dried out on the Ledge, at Porth Hellick, St. Mary's. The photograph shows the damage where the foot of the stempost has been twisted from the impact of the trawler hitting the rocks.
A copy negative from an original print.
The Reginald ran ashore on the Ledge at Porth Hellick on 5 July 1902. The bow ended on a flat rock, about 12 feet out of water. The stern was on rocks in about 6 feet water. The forefoot was twisted and rivets broken where the trawler struck, but otherwise no damage visible. The tug Eagle arrived from Falmouth and towed the Reginald off, which then made its way to Plymouth under its own steam.
